Our task is to create the best school ever. Our students are bestowed knowledge of their talents, intelligence capabilities. This self awareness makes them excellent candidates in versatile jobs.

Auspicious conditions

Auspicious conditions are always a base of well-balanced life and effective work. One of the esteemed values in EC is the acceptance that people are unique; they are entitled to their world view perspective.

Students’ collaboration with psychologists, teachers and the school management helps them to learn to understand other people, to be tolerant and compassionate in their daily life interaction.

Benevolent and friendly atmosphere in the school community is focused on developing emotional harmony and flexibility. It teaches pupils self awareness; furthermore, it enables them to be sociable, loving and respectful. It prepares children to face everyday life challenges to integrate and live a fulfilled life.

The objective is to guide children through a process of self discovery, to appreciate their personality and to love others.

International Certification and Collaboration

Cambridge English School is a unique innovative educational project, it has been founded by two experts of Cambridge University: Cambridge University Press and Cambridge English Language Assessment. These organizations have an excellent international reputation and great experience in the sphere of education.

Inner harmony is one of the key ingredients to a person’s success in any field. It requires careful and proper guidance, the sooner a child starts learning the ropes of psychological culture, the more opportunities they have to develop the self-preservation abilities and skills of increasing their own potential for their whole life.

Psychological follow-up

One of the main future skills is (according to the research by the World Economic Forum) the person’s ability to cooperate with the others effectively, which means to be adaptable and creative. To develop these skills, teachers’, parents’ and children’s social cultural progress is required. The key priority of our team of psychologists are:

Psychology lessons
From 1st to 11th grade according to the programme “Life Dialogues” and the school’s psychologists’ authoring.

Work on development
On different topics, in particular sand therapy, elements of dance therapy and fairy tale therapy

Testing
